Tinitus

Bert-man,

Tinitus... Yeah, I got it good! Comes from spending ten years under the sea listening to whales fart and Russian ships roaring around overhead. I've got more time sitting around with a pair of head phones on my head than a Rock and Roll recording artist.. They are probably all deaf too! At least I get a 10% disability for mine!

17 minute submarine video

The last WESPAC cruise of the USS Sailfish SS-572.

You get to see it all, from leaving port, to starting the engines for snorkeling, periscope observations, maneuvering room answering speed requests, loading torpedoes, pulling into Hong Kong (which I can see the skyline had already changed in the four years since I had last been there.)

Still shots of the animals, 'er crew that served aboard her at the time, (I left the boat in 1970).. And other stuff.. She was a fast old girl, capable of 21 knots (24 MPH) on the surface. She had four Fairbanks Morse 12 cylinder opposed piston diesel engines putting out 1,600 HP each. Twin shafts with five bladed props, (One is shown being removed while she was in drydock, probably in Yokosuka, Japan.)

She was decommissioned and then sunk 121 miles off the coast of Washington state in 1978 in nearly 9,000 feet of water.. A sad ending for the old girl.. HAND SALUTE!!... Two...

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

It is a wonderful 15 degrees out this morning. Wind chill is -2. I love it. Keeps the fools inside and I can enjoy nature by myself.
